Ghetto Lullabye Lyrics - Shontelligence - Shontelle

Hush little shorty, don't you cry 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby 

When things get rough let me dry your eyes 

Give you the strength, hold your head up high 

When this cold world never do you right 

I'll hold you down through the darkest nights 

So rest your head, let me ease your mind 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby 

Where shall I begin to teach you 

What could take a lifetime to learn? 

Nuff lies will be told, with each day 

The truth will unfold 

Picture if you can, a mountain so high 

That you can't see the top 

An ocean so wide 

You can see where it meets the sky

Well, that's how far you're gonna have to go 

Hold on tight shorty, don't let go 

Those rains will fall and those winds will blow 

Out in these streets can be so cold 

Hush little shorty, don't you cry 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby 

When things get rough let me dry your eyes 

Give you the strength, hold your head up high 

When this cold world never do you right 

I'll hold you down through the darkest nights 

So rest your head, let me ease your mind 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby 

I'm looking at you, a picture of innocence framed within trust 

Each river you cross filled with the unknown not so treacherous 

All envy and greed will rip you apart and leave you to bleed 

And incessantly cut you down with no trace of mercy

Nuff back stabbers and informers 

Hate and disease, so let me warn ya 

Sharks in the ocean will raise their teeth 

Let's all run fast when you see 

Hush little shorty, don't you cry 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby 

When things get rough let me dry your eyes 

Give you the strength, hold your head up high 

When this cold world never do you right 

I'll hold you down through the darkest nights 

So rest your head, let me ease your mind 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby 

Ooh, dry your eyes, don't you cry, not tonight 

If you just try you will find your sunrise 

Hush little shorty, don't you cry 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby 

When things get rough let me dry your eyes 

Give you the strength, hold your head up high 

When this cold world never do you right 

I'll hold you down through the darkest nights 

So rest your head, let me ease your mind 

I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
